Headphones stop working - what to do?

Broken headphones may have a defect in one of the sensitive areas. You may find the cause of your problem under the following points:

• Check that the headphone cable is intact and that there are no broken cables or defects.
• The connection to the device must not have a major defect.
• It is possibly defective or there is a loose connection.
• Therefore, connect the headphones to another device and check whether they work there.
• If this is the case, there are problems with the connection to your other device.
• Some headphones have a volume control on the side or on the cable.
• Maybe this was turned down on the controller, which is why no sound is output.
• With wireless headphones, you should make sure that they are not too far away from the respective device and that the two devices are properly connected.
• Another sensitive point is the cable input on the headphones. If the headphones work with a certain cable position, there is a loose connection. With some devices you can replace the cable, with others you can fix the cable with adhesive tape.
